“Ugh, I love this tea. Love it. But it always throws me for a loop. Red Blossom suggests brewing between 2-3 mins at 195. Since this is rolled, I do 2:30 instead of my more normal 2 mins for...” Read full tasting note
“I love this tea so much that I carry it in my online store, Bon Teavant Market. Red Blossom Tea’s owner knows Taiwanese oolongs like few others do. While they recommend a much longer steeping time...” Read full tasting note
“This makes a damn fine cup of tea! I consider this oolong to be a ‘tank’ as I brewed it for more than eight times, so much I couldn’t finish my last cup. The only reason why I don’t give it 100%,...” Read full tasting note

Description

Our Alishan Spring Harvest tea was harvested late April 2009 from the same tea garden that we have worked with for the past 6 years. Hand-picked tea leaves are gently oxidized over a 10 hour period, then expertly roasted and rolled to accentuate the natural floral aromatics of the tea leaves.

Spring harvest oolongs brew richer and more intense than their Winter counterparts, with a more pronounced finish. Alishan Oolongs in particular have a distinct citrus note, reminiscent of the oils released when grapefruit is peeled.
